I like the way he has handled this 'scandel' better than the white house has handled all their numerous scandels.

I think that he stuck the proverbial fork in himself in front of Sheldon Gary Adelson on the GOP hopeful Presidential junket he just went to.

It would be hard to turn down the hundreds of millions Adelson is spewing to keep gambling off the internet. Atlantic City is hurting, but probably not going to get better. I am not sure how New Jerseys online poker is doing. Do they have gambling on sports (at casinos or online)?

Online poker not doing as well as expected. No sports gambling here but the NJ state government is pushing hard to legalize sports betting in NJ. Currently, it's illegal by federal statute and a lower federal court ruled against the State of NJ last year. NJ appealed the ruling and wants to present it's case for allowing sports betting to the Supreme Court. I don't know if the Supreme Court will hear the case or not.
I should add the people of NJ passed a public referendum to legalize sports betting. About 2/3's of the state voters want sports betting. I love this state!

I thought NJ had some sort of loophole on sports betting like Delaware. What's the difference? Different federal court jurisdictions?

No loophole for NJ, Mike. NJ wanted to pass sports betting before the federal law came into effect back around 1993. Some nitwit appointed by Christie Whitman wouldn't let the bill come out of his committee. So the bill could not be voted on.

Interesting - I wonder if the Supreme Court upholds the NJ ruling, then sports betting in Delaware will end, too.

No, Mike. The federal law passed in the '90's grandfathered 4 states - Delaware, Nevada, Oregon, and Montana. Here a link to an article about NJ's efforts to offer sports betting:
